I've been using OkCupid since April of 2006 (on the service, I'm WhigBrew ).  Recently, MyPoints offered me 100 points to do an eHarmony personality profile, so I thought I'd give it a shot.  After taking quite a while - as I knew from previous experience it would - it told me I was one of the 1 in 5 people regarding whom they decided it would be better to turn down than offer their services.  There are two reasons for this, both of which don't apply to OkCupid:  Accuracy , and - a...

Here is a saying which has been overdone these days: "Live your life in the moment".I came across a nice take on this saying,which gives it a different and beautiful dimension altogether. People across the spectrum have had their share of people, familial or romantic ones,good and bad ones,bitter and worse ones, which have left us question the very basics of human bonding and relationships.Are they good or bad?Is they even worth the pain?DO I deserve it? The problem can be that the person is... Read Full Story

I recently found this pic on flickr. I have decided to use it as the logo in my profile. This picture is just so special to me.It signifies unity,oneness.The couple in the picture signifies(for me) coming together of two people, leaving apart their differences,prejudice,insecurities,apprehensions,egos and becoming one. This is the first step towards realizing HIM. When two bodies intertwine together and it's impossible to say which one is which;when their souls converge and lose their... Read Full Story

Interesting ways people have found my blog... Some of these inquiries make me feel bad, because what they're searching for isn't actually in here. So let's take a second to answer some of your questions, shall we? 6 month anniversary email I'd normally start it out with how you felt when you two first met, and end it with how far you've come. Sprinkle in a few good times you've had, and sign it with your pet name. Works every time. p.s. Why are you writing her an email for Christ's sakes... Read Full Story

I'm not exactly an expert on internet dating. However, I have been around the virtual block, have had a gaggle of bad experiences, and have generally learned what not to do. I was thinking about annotating the top ten tips list, but I thought I'd just respond to them in a blog entry here. Since no one else is posting, and they did come through with my 200 points, and I feel I should do something more to earn them: # Fill out your profile completely. This is true. However, based on my... Read Full Story

  first off I'm not much into 'dating services'.  the eHarmony ads on TV make me ill.  And my experience with yahoo personals has been less than stellar (can you say 'trainwreck' ?)  so when I stumbled upon (not from using stumbleupon , mind you... speaking of which, check out stumble video ...trez cool) well, I near about closed the tab quick as that.  but I lingered.  Hmmm... free?  really?  mmmmK... let's waste some time here... i'm sure I will get that 'sign up for 14.99/mo and you can...

I was in university in oklahoma and there were not a lot of guys to date within my faith. the closest large city was dallas tx, about three and a half hours away. So in order to meet people from down there we would occassionaly go to church activities over a weekend but also resort to the internet. Sometimes the internet worked, others it didnt. This is a story of just how badly it does not work sometimes. So I had met this guy online- lets call him fred. Fred had just moved to TX from Ut... Read Full Story

As an English teacher in Houston, I didn't have the opportunity to meet many eligible guys. Most coaches and all students did not qualify. So, when my good friend recommended that I go out with a former college buddy of her husband, I agreed. Chris was a computer hardware engineer. He was reasonably attractive, articulate, and available. What more could I ask? We had only dated about a month when Valentine's Day arrived. Chris showed up with roses and chocolate, which I appreciated. Too bad... Read Full Story
